FruitFlyFree

The Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF) supports developing countries in building capacity to implement international sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) standards, guidelines and recommendations. This channel aims specifically at providing supporting information for development, implementation and recognition of Pest Free Areas (PFA) and Areas of Low Pest Prevalence (ALPP) for regulated fruit fly pests of commercial fruit commodities in southern Africa, following the directives of the relevant International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs), as approved by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). The webinars here provide basic information on the identification and handling of fruit flies or accurate record-keeping, and more.
